⢠Adding a control enclosure (either by itself or with one or more expansion enclosures) to an
existing system. You do not need to power off the system. You can add a control enclosure while the
system is operational.
⢠Setting up a new system that consists of more than one control enclosure. Install the îłrst control
enclosure and then the required expansion enclosures. For each additional control enclosure, complete
the setup as if you were adding it to an existing system.
Table 4 on page 2 lists the steps for each scenario.
